I’ve had a somewhat winding career path, in that I worked as a civil servant
at the Air Force Research Lab for quite awhile before going back to school. After seven
years of government employment, TPS
reports got the better of me. I quit my cushy government job and tried out
various other places of employment. Eventually I landed at Wright State
University, and it has been a great fit. Being an academic is fantastic —
I get the opportunity to meet tons of fascinating people and talk about
interesting ideas with them.

When I’m not working, I enjoy trying out new craft
beers with my husband Jason or teaching my dog Shiloh new tricks (like “don’t
eat the cat”).
